UK substantially underestimates its methane emissions from oil and gas production – and many other countries probably do too

Envirotec Magazine

A newer, more accurate method for calculating methane emissions from offshore oil and gas production suggests that the United Kingdom severely underestimates its greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers conclude that as much as five times more methane is being leaked from oil and gas production than reported.

Why now is the time to tackle biogas leakage

Envirotec Magazine

Following a 10-year analysis of the scale of methane leakage at almost 1,000 AD plants across the UK and Europe, Tim Elsome, General Manager of biogas specialists FM BioEnergy, outlines why now is the ideal time to tackle unidentified biogas leaks – and how to protect your plant, profits and the planet. The risks of doing nothing.

Carbon Dioxide Equivalent – Applications for Measuring Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Green Business Bureau

While carbon dioxide (CO2) tends to be the most commonly discussed and recognized GHG, there are numerous other greenhouse gasses including methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, and hydrofluorocarbons. The three major greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Methane (CH4).

UN: Slashing methane emissions 'one of the best ways' to curb global temperature rise

Business Green

Methane emissions reduction could significantly reduce rates of global warming at a relatively low cost, major research warns. As such, the report emphasises that methane mitigation is "one of the best ways of limiting warming in this and subsequent decades".

Immediate action on organic waste needed to meet Paris targets, says biogas group

Envirotec Magazine

Once all avoidable waste is prevented, the remaining unavoidable waste can be recycled into green energy for power, heat and transport as well as biofertilisers for agriculture, bio-CO2 and other valuable bio-products. As we have 10 years to act, tackling methane is the key to achieving net zero. (2)To
